Definitions
- the present invention relates generally to gas turbine engines, and more particularly to hollow air cooled airfoils used in such engines.
- a gas turbine engine includes a compressor that provides pressurized air to a combustor wherein the air is mixed with fuel and ignited for generating hot combustion gases. These gases flow downstream to one or more turbines that extract energy therefrom to power the compressor and provide useful work such as powering an aircraft in flight.
- a turbofan engine which typically includes a fan placed at the front of the core engine, a high pressure turbine powers the compressor of the core engine.
- a low pressure turbine is disposed downstream from the high pressure turbine for powering the fan.
- Each turbine stage commonly includes a stationary turbine nozzle followed in turn by a turbine rotor.
- the turbine rotor comprises a row of rotor blades mounted to the perimeter of a rotor disk that rotates about the centerline axis of the engine.
- Each rotor blade typically includes a shank portion having a dovetail for mounting the blade to the rotor disk and an airfoil that extracts useful work from the hot gases exiting the combustor.
- the turbine nozzles are usually segmented around the circumference thereof to accommodate thermal expansion. Each nozzle segment has one or more nozzle vanes disposed between inner and outer bands for channeling the hot gas stream into the turbine rotor.
- the high pressure turbine components are exposed to extremely high temperature combustion gases.
- the turbine blades and nozzle vanes typically employ internal cooling to keep their temperatures within certain design limits.
- the airfoil of a turbine rotor blade for example, is ordinarily cooled by passing cooling air through an internal circuit.
- the cooling air normally enters through a passage in the blade's root and exits through film cooling holes formed in the airfoil surface, thereby producing a thin layer or film of cooling air that protects the airfoil from the hot gases.
- Known cooling arrangements often include a plurality of openings in the trailing edge through which cooling air is discharged.
- openings may take the form of holes, or of a pressure-side bleed slot arrangement, in which the airfoil pressure side wall stops short of the extreme trailing edge of the airfoil, creating an opening which is divided into individual bleed slots by a plurality of longitudinally extending lands incorporated into the airfoil casting.
- These slots perform the function of channeling a thin film of cooling air over the surface of the airfoil trailing edge.
- Airfoils having such a pressure-side bleed slot arrangement are known to be particularly useful for incorporating a thin trailing edge. In effect, the trailing edge thickness of the airfoil is equal to that of the suction side wall thickness alone. This is desirable in terms of aerodynamic efficiency.
- the present invention provides a hollow cooled turbine airfoil having pressure and suction side walls and a plurality of trailing edge cooling passages that feed cooling air bleed slots at the trailing edge.
- the airfoil trailing edge is selectively thickened in the root portion so as to allow shortened trailing edge slots, thereby improving trailing edge cooling and reducing mechanical stresses.
- FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a turbine blade embodying the cooling configuration of the present invention.
- FIG. 2 is a partial side elevational view of a turbine blade incorporating a first embodiment of the present invention.
- FIG. 3 is a partial side elevational view of a turbine blade incorporating an alternative embodiment of the present invention.
- FIG. 4 is a partial cross-sectional view of a turbine blade taken along lines 4 — 4 of FIG. 2 .
- FIG. 5 is a partial cross-sectional view of a turbine blade taken along lines 5 — 5 of FIG. 2 .
- FIG. 1 illustrates an exemplary turbine blade 10 .
- the turbine blade 10 includes a conventional dovetail 12 , which may have any suitable form including tangs that engage complementary tangs of a dovetail slot in a rotor disk (not shown) for radially retaining the blade 10 to the disk as it rotates during operation.
- a blade shank 14 extends radially upwardly from the dovetail 12 and terminates in a platform 16 that projects laterally outwardly from and surrounds the shank 14 .
- the platform defines a portion of the combustion gases past the turbine blade 10 .
- a hollow airfoil 18 extends radially outwardly from the platform 16 and into the hot gas stream.
- a fillet 36 is disposed at the junction of the airfoil 18 and the platform 16 .
- the airfoil 18 has a concave pressure side wall 20 and a convex suction side wall 22 joined together at a leading edge 24 and at a trailing edge 26 .
- the airfoil 18 may take any configuration suitable for extracting energy from the hot gas stream and causing rotation of the rotor disk.
- the blade 10 is preferably formed as a one-piece casting of a suitable superalloy, such as a nickel-based superalloy, which has acceptable strength at the elevated temperatures of operation in a gas turbine engine.
- the blade incorporates a number of trailing edge bleed slots 28 on the pressure side 20 of the airfoil.
- the bleed slots 28 are separated by a number of longitudinally extending lands 30 .
- the cooling effectiveness of the trailing edge slots 28 is related to their length L (see FIG. 4 ), which is the distance from the trailing edge cooling passage exit 48 to the trailing edge 26 .
- a shorter slot 28 tends to minimize this mixing and therefore improve cooling efficiency.
- the trailing edge slot length L (FIG. 4) is controlled by several parameters. Fixing these parameters results in a nominal value of the slot length L for a given airfoil.
- the wedge angle W is the included angle between the outer surfaces of the airfoil 18 and is typically measured towards the aft end of the airfoil 18 , where the airfoil surfaces have the least curvature.
- the trailing edge thickness T is defined as the airfoil wall thickness at a predetermined small distance, for example 0.762 mm (0.030 in.), from the extreme aft end of the airfoil 18 .
- the combination of the wedge angle W and the trailing edge thickness T determine the maximum overall airfoil thickness at each location along the aft portion of the airfoil.
- the overall airfoil thickness at the exit 48 of the trailing edge cooling passage 46 is denoted A and has a certain minimum dimension, as described more fully below. It would be possible to decrease the slot length L from the nominal value by increasing the wedge angle W, thus increasing dimension A. However, increasing wedge angle W and therefore the overall airfoil thickness would have a detrimental effect on aerodynamic performance. Dimension A is also equal to the sum of the pressure side wall thickness P, the suction side wall thickness S, and the trailing edge cooling passage width H. Reduction of dimensions P, S, or H would allow the slot length L to be reduced from the nominal value without increasing dimension A.
- FIG. 4 shows the configuration of the trailing edge of the airfoil 18 at a mid-span position, which is unchanged relative to a nominal or baseline turbine blade of similar design.
- the pressure side wall 20 and suction side wall 22 are separated by an internal cavity 42 .
- the side walls taper inwards toward the trailing edge 26 .
- the suction side wall 22 continues unbroken the entire length of the blade all the way to the trailing edge 26 , whereas the pressure side wall 20 has an aft-facing lip 44 so as to expose an opening in the trailing edge 26 , which is divided by lands 30 into a plurality of trailing edge slots 28 .
- the aft-facing lip 44 defines the position of the trailing edge cooling passage exit 48 .
- the trailing edge thickness at the aft end of the blade is essentially equal to the thickness of the suction side wall 22 alone.
- an exemplary embodiment of the blade 10 has a generally radial array of trailing edge pressure side bleed slots 28 .
- the majority of the slots 28 are of equal length L.
- the value of L for the majority of the slots is the nominal slot length for the particular blade design, as described above.
- one or more of the slots 28 close to the root 34 of the blade 10 are shorter than the remainder of the slots 28 . This improves cooling efficiency at the root portion of trailing edge 26 by reducing mixing of hot combustion gases with the flow of cooing air.
- the slot 28 closest to the root 34 is the shortest.
- the adjacent slots are also shortened, but to a lesser degree, so that the slot length L gradually increases from that of the slot 28 closest to the root 34 , with each successive slot 28 in the radially outward direction being slightly longer than the previous slot 28 , as illustrated in FIG. 2 .
- Radially outward of the last of these transitional slots 28 the remainder of the slots 28 are the nominal slot length L. While FIG. 2 shows the three radially innermost slots 28 as having a reduced length, it should be noted that the present invention is not so limited. There could be fewer or greater slots 28 having a shorter length than the remainder of the slots 28 .
- the modification to the blade's external contour required to incorporate the shortened slots 28 should be arranged so as to have a minimal impact on aerodynamic performance of the blade 10 . Therefore, it is desirable to incorporate the shortened slots 28 to only the root portion where they are most needed to address excessive mechanical and thermal stresses. Accordingly, in the exemplary embodiment described herein, the transition to the nominal slot length, and thus the taper of the additional blade thickness in the radial direction, is completed within approximately 20% of the blade span measured from root 34 to the tip 32 .
- the taper can be varied to suit a particular application. For example, the taper could extend the entire span of the blade, or it could extend only enough to accommodate one shortened trailing edge slot 28 .
- dimension A the total airfoil thickness at the exit 48 of the cooling passage 46 , is the same absolute value at section 5 — 5 as at section 4 — 4 , despite the shorter slot length L at section 5 — 5 .
- This allows the required minimum values of pressure side wall thickness P, cooling passage width H, and suction side wall thickness S to be maintained.
- the extra thickness is incorporated equally between the two sides of the airfoil relative to the baseline contour, allowing the same absolute value of dimension A to occur at a point further aft along the chord of the airfoil.
- the extra thickness is tapered out to zero both axially forward and radially outward.
- the additional thickness is used only where required in order to minimize its effect on the aerodynamic performance of the airfoil.
- there is about 0.127 mm (0.005 in.) of added thickness on each side of the blade at the root 34 of the trailing edge 26 and the additional thickness is tapered out to zero at a point approximately 10 mm (0.4 in.) from the trailing edge 26 on each side of the blade.
- the additional thickness is shown by the dashed line 54 in FIG. 4 .
- this increase in the cross-sectional area of the blade at the root increases the moment of inertia of the blade, increasing the blade stiffness and lowering the compressive bending stresses in the trailing edge root.
- FIG. 3 An alternate embodiment of the present invention is shown in FIG. 3 .
- the blade also has a radial array of trailing edge pressure side bleed slots 28 .
- the majority of the trailing edge slots 28 are of equal length L, which is the nominal length as described above.
- the slot 28 closest to the root 34 is replaced with a generally axially extending cooling passage 52 , which may be a hole of circular cross-section, or any other convenient shape.
- the passage 52 is in fluid communication with the internal cavity 42 and conducts cooling air axially rearward to provide convection cooling to the trailing edge 26 . Adjacent to and radially outside the cooling passage 52 one or more of the slots 28 close to the cooling passage 52 are shorter than the remainder of the slots 28 .
- the slots are shortened to a progressively decreasing degree in the radially outward direction, so that the slot length L gradually increases from that of the slot 28 closest to the cooling passage 52 , with each successive slot 28 in the radially outward direction being slightly longer than the previous slot 28 , as illustrated in FIG. 3 .
- the remainder of the slots 28 , radially outward of the last of these transitional slots, are the nominal slot length L.
- the transition to the nominal slot length L, and thus the taper of the additional blade thickness in the radial direction is generally complete by approximately 20% of the blade span measured from root 34 to the tip 32 .
- this taper could be modified, as described above. It is also contemplated that more than one slot position could be supplanted by additional cooling passages 52 , providing further enhanced cooling.
- the present invention has been described in conjunction with an exemplary embodiment of a turbine blade. However, it should be noted that the invention is equally applicable to any hollow fluid directing member, including, for example stationary turbine nozzles airfoils disposed between a flowpath structure (e.g. inner and outer nozzle bands), as well as rotating blades.
- a flowpath structure e.g. inner and outer nozzle bands
